Ok I have another question.

With the =today() function is there a way to automaticaly make the date a
value so It will not change again, say once you mail the file, or when you
post it to web folder or something?

Thanks guys.

Kevin

Hi

You must use code to do this or enter the date with a short cut

Ctrl ;

Or with code

Sub test()
ActiveCell.Value = Format(Date, "dd-mmm-yyyy")
End Sub

Then it is not possible.

You can use code to automatic insert the last saved date into the file.

Is that a option

I just don't want the date to change if my boss emails it to his boss or
whatever.
Would like it to be automatic but if it's realy difficult or impossible I'll
manage.

Why don't you try this the other way around - ie create a macro to email it
directly from Excel and change the formula to a value when you do the email
? This will permanently change the formula to it's resulting value.

For instance if your formula "=today()" is in cell B5....

' This is the equivalent of manually selecting the cell, Edit Copy,
Edit Paste Special, Select VALUE in the paste panel and OK

Range("B5").Select
Selection.Copy
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone,
SkipBlanks _
:=False, Transpose:=False
ActiveSheet.Paste
Application.CutCopyMode = False

' Code to email the spreadsheet
ActiveWorkbook.SendMail ", _
"Today's Spreadsheet"


See Ron de Bruin's Excel tips at http://www.rondebruin.nl/sendmail.htm for
examples.

VBA Email help if you need it....
